"Coming of the Storm" for LZWolf (also on ModDB)

[Orka]

One of the greatest Wolfenstein 3D mods "Coming of the Storm" is now available for the LZWolf sourceport!

Hey there. For weeks I've been working on an LZWolf port of the good old classic Wolfenstein 3D mod "Coming of the Storm" (made by Wolf Skevos-Jones). And I've done it! It's finally playable in LZWolf. I don't know what to say about this, because I assume many of you know about this DOS mod... but if you don't then I would like you to read this wiki page:

https://wl6.fandom.com/wiki/Coming_of_the_Storm

This port has all the features that the original mod had and should work as intended. I've already posted screenshots on the ModDB page but I'll share some here as well.

- Fixed a bug on the last level (ghosts could be killed with the knife)
- Rebalanced the flamethrower and the rocket launcher a little bit (they're both stronger now)

This one requires the latest LZWolf build and the full version of Wolfenstein 3D.

Have fun!

YES! I remember this mod very well, one of the absolute best for Wolf3D. Playing it with proper controls feels like a dream.

It’s def a grade a classic mod, and an especially good port. Special thanks to linuxwolf for adding the necessary extras to LZWolf (especially since those rain and snow effects will come in handy). Played through a bit of this last night and it’s def one of the best of that time period. WSJ is basically a god lol.

orka at it again with the nice conversion of a Wolf Skevos Jones classic!

Will you also do Spear Resurrection & End of Destiny next? (if you have time?)

I didn't really have a plan for another port to be honest. Neither did I plan to port this one so... who knows? I thought to myself "What if I can make this somehow work in LZWolf?" but I was just experimenting. When I ported most of the stuffs I kinda lost hope, because I couldn't figure out some major aspects, like the enemy-blocking objects and the Shadow Demon's death resulting in making the ghosts disappear. But I did figure it out in the end. And as AstroCreep said Linuxwolf really did this port a favour making the raining effect and the starry sky work in LZWolf.

So I don't know if I'll ever try to port anything else? It depends. I think that Spear Resurrection could be a possible port material but I'm not sure about End of Destiny. We just had a discussion about it in the WolfSource Discord server and we all agreed it's not really possible at the moment.

This is cool to see. I love Coming of the Storm! This actually inspired me to run through it again on my Win98 machine.

I'll give this a try at some point and see how it compares.

A new LZWolf build has been uploaded, fixing the scaling issues with star sky in high resolutions. Click here to download the new Windows build. The builds (including the Mac build) will be uploaded to Wolfsource soon.

I had a chance to play through this recently. You've definitely done a great job emulating everything from the original release. The robed priests are definitely much more of a threat with their fireballs now, but the flamethrower is more useful as well. The only real complaint I have is that the rocket launcher is significantly weaker. You could reliably one-shot the Uber Soldats and robed priests with it originally, but now it takes upwards of three sometimes. I can imagine this might have been necessary for balance, since it's much easier to aim it now. Overall though, great job on this one! This mod is fantastic and definitely deserves to be played.

this is hard, I need to put it on easy. I like it so far

I just finished blasting through the first few levels, great port!

Dangit, almost forgot to update this topic. New fixed version is available now, check the main post! Thank you all for the feedbacks.

This was easily my favorite Wolfenstein 3D mod back in the day, glad to see it's back! I also hope you are planning on working on more conversions
